The Seahawks and Broncos square off in the Super Bowl on February 2 at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium.

The Super Bowl. The Big Dance. The most-watched American television broadcast in history and as good excuse as any to laze around and feast on snacks. (Fun fact: Super Bowl Sunday is the second-biggest day for U.S. food consumption. Thanksgiving is the first. WE. ARE. ANIMALS.) Super Bowl 2013 took place in sunny and warm New Orleans, but this year's NFC-AFC face-off, Super Bowl XLVIII, happens February 2 at the non-domed MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where potential cold weather and snows could make for a rather interesting contest. Whether you're deeply passionate about which NFL team takes home the Vince Lombardi trophy or more preoccupied with TV commercials and party food, our guide offers a game plan. Including everything from a roundup of iconic ads filmed in Chicago to the city's best football bars to easy and delicious dip recipes from Chicago chefs, we coach you on what you need to make the Seahawks-Broncos Super Bowl one for the record books (if not the waistline). Ready. Set. Hut!
